Count Mr.Boulder and I in if you will take us! Where are you looking at going to? We will be at the Hyatt Scottsdale resort for a nice weekend in the sun!

Looking forward to this dinner. Should be fun to finally meet the man behind such ideas as earning on CSA for SkyTeam elite status, completing the AA Platinum Challenge in one roundtrip, etc.

Count me in, although I'll have to leave early to go to the airport. You see, I'm departing on my first mileage run that night. It occurred to me yesterday that 4/27 will be a memorable day for me, and I should attend this gathering....my first FT to-do, and the start of my first MR!

Hopefully y'all will choose a restaurant reasonably close to the airport. Of course, it will be one that is in iDine!!

------------------
But it's a dry heat.

I'm coming! I'm coming! (wildly waving hands in the air). The Arizona contingent has supported our San Diego parties, and it's my turn to travel east. I'm actually flying WN - which for those who know me, is a true demonstration of how much I want to have dinner with Jan_AZ, Old Gold and Mrs. Old Gold, TransWorldOne and onefreeman. Knowing I'll be roasted if I don't say it - ok, I want to see B747, with his extraordinary encylopedic knowledge of all things aeronautical. And I'm looking forward to making some new FT friends.

This is my FIRST TIME to get on a plane to attend an FT event! Sadly, I could care less about WN mileage. I actually priced out UA from CLD-LAX-PHX, but $220 to fly in for dinner seemed a little steep.

SanDiego1K, I see a UA fare of $92 SAN--PHX in W class on UA, 7 day advance. Or, from SNA to PHX on UA in T, with 7 days advance.

Well the list grows

WE now have:

B747
onefreeman
TransWorldOne
MrandMrsOldGold(possible)
thebigfish
NickyD
MrandMrs Boulder HyattHopper
westernairlines
SanDiego1K
jan_az

Looks like we might have a DO in the making

Anyone else going to come party - guess its now time to start thinking that word reservation

That was a wonderful tip. Unfortunately, there were no available seats on any flight at any time returning from PHX on Sunday. *sigh* I had brief visions of 2,000 miles (for 4 segments)dancing inexpensively into my UA account.

Last I heard B747 was stranded in Canada due to a "paperwork snafu with the INS at Toronto" Does anyone know the status of his travel plans for the week to come?

Please post details of where dinner is (hopefully close to the airport).

I'll be in PHX that evening overnighting on a KL-inspired mileage run.

As of Friday night, he was planning to spend the weekend with his family up there, and come back to Atlanta on Tuesday.

I just submitted a successful Priceline bid of $33 for Saturday night, got the PHX airport Hilton.

Now we don't have to risk our lives on I-10 late at night driving back to Tucson.

Bowing to pressure

onefreeman knows the bartender here and it is approximately 10-15 minutes from the airport!!!

More of you are WELCOME to come join us!!!!

If this is as nice as the place onefreeman picked in SAN last month, I'm sure you'll enjoy your evening.

Too bad I am in the United Kingdom next weekend.

Anyways, enjoy the party!

By the way Janet - is "MarritoGold" where you are from a new drink?
